COMMERCIAL  FERTILIZERS. 


By  GEORGE  ROBERTS.* 


This  report  gives  the  results  of  fertilizer  inspection  work  for  the 
second  half  of  the  fiscal  year  1905-06,  the  results  of  the  first  half-year 
having  been  published  in  Bulletin  No.  173.  A  list  of  the  registered 
dealers  was  given  in  Bulletin  No.  173  and  will  not  be  repeated. 

From  January  1  to  June  30, 1906,  239  samples  of  registered  fertilizers 
and  fertilizing  materials  have  been  received  at  the  laboratory.  Of  this 
number,  22  were  sent  by  farmers  under  the  two-dollar  fee  provision, 
56  were  taken  by  inspectors  from  purchasers'  goods  upon  the  request  of 
the  purchasers,  and  161  were  taken  by  inspectors  from  goods  in  the 
hands  of  agents  and  manufacturers.  During  the  first  half-year  138 
registered  samples  were  received  and  analyzed,  making  a  total  of  377 
samples  for  the  year. 

The  following  classification  may  be  made  of  samples  reported  in  this 
bulletin : 

Complete  fertilizers 121 

Bone  meal 27 

Tankage 42 

Nitrogenous    superphosphate 1 

Superphosphate    and   potash 4 

Superphosphate     1 

Thomas  phosphate  powder 7 

Dried    blood 14 

Nitrate  of  soda 14 

Bird  guano 1 

Sulfate  of  potash 7 

Total    239 

DEFICIENCIES. 

In  the  analyses  of  the  above  samples,  the  following  number  of  defi- 
ciencies greater  than  allowed  by  law  occur : 

Available  phosphoric  acid  (total  when  available  is  not  guaranteed)  .     19 

Total    nitrogen 35 

Potash    20 

In    valuation 11 

These  deficiencies  were  found  in  67  samples. 

The  fertilizer  law  allows  a  deficiency  of  0.25  per  cent  in  nitrogen,  0.50 
per  cent  in  potash,  and  1.00  per  cent  in  available  phosphoric  acid. 

*  The  writer  is  much  indebted  to  Mr.  Ludwig  Rosenstein,  assistant  in  the 
Fertilizer  Control  Laboratory,  for  his  faithful  and  very  accurate  work.

INSPECTION  SERVICE. 

Beginning  with  July  1,  1905,  the  plan  was  adopted  of  placing  resident 
sampling  agents  in  those  localities  in  which  the  sales  of  fertilizers  were 
large  enough  to  justify  the  action.     Accordingly  Mr.  A.  C.  Pickett  of 
Riverside  was  appointed  sampling  agent  for  southern  California,  with 
headquarters  at  Riverside.    His  instructions  were  to  make  two  general 
inspections  a  year — one  immediately  following  July  1st,  and  the  other 
immediately  following  January  1st.     He  was  directed  to   sample  all 
goods  found  in  the  hands  of  agents  and  dealers,  and  also  to  sample  goods 
in  the  hands  of  purchasers  upon  their  request.     In  addition  to  these 
duties  he  was  instructed  to  keep  himself  posted  on  the  shipment  of 
fertilizers  in  his  section  and  to  go  and  sample  them  whenever  the  distance 
would  permit,  or  the  amount  of  goods  justify  the  trip.     He  was  also 
instructed  to  sample  goods  upon   request  of  purchasers  at  all   times 
when  distance  and  quantity  of  goods  would  justify  the  work.     Notice 
of  this  plan  was  printed  in  a  large  number  of  papers  in  southern  Cali- 
fornia.    To  illustrate  the  effectiveness  of  the  plan  the  following  figures 
are  given  : 

From  July  1,  1905.  to  June  30,  1906,  Mr.  Pickett  took  305  samples. 
What  was  done  from  January  1  to  June  30  will  probably  better  repre- 
sent the  effectiveness  of  the  plan,  for  the  reason  that  it  was  probably 
not  generally  known  until  this  time,  and  also  that  this  is  the  period  of 
greatest  sales.  During  these  six  months  Mr.  Pickett  took  202  samples, 
56  of  which  were  taken  upon  the  request  of  purchasers. 

This  plan  of  inspection  has  proven  so  satisfactory  that  it  will  be  intro- 
duced in  other  localities  whenever  the  sales  are  large  enough  to  justify 
the  step. 

Some  of  the  farmers  in  this  section  bought  their  fertilizers  subject 
to  settlement  upon  basis  of  Fertilizer  Control  analyses  and  called  upon 
Mr.  Pickett  to  sample  the  goods.  This  is  a  good  practice,  and  when 
agreed  upon  by  dealer  and  purchaser,  the  Fertilizer  Control  will  be 
irlad  to  render  prompt  service  in  the  matter  of  analyses. 

The  above  plan  does  not  interfere  with  farmers  sending  their  own 
samples  under  the  two-dollar  fee  provision  of  the  law.  Samples  sent 
by  farmers  with  the  fee  will  receive  first  attention,  those  taken  by  in- 
spectors from  purchasers'  goods  next,  and  then  those  taken  from  stocks 
of  dealers. 

A   WORD    ABOUT    BUYING    FERTILIZERS. 

There  is  one  reform  that  is  much  needed  in  the  purchase  of  fertilizers, 
and  that  is  a  change  from  the  almost  universal  practice  of  buying  on 
the  flat  ton  rate.  "When  fertilizers  are  bought  on  this  basis,  farmers 
often  pay  practically  the  same  price  for  different  fertilizers  whose 
compositions  necessarily  make  their  commercial  values  vary  consider- 


COMMERCIAL     FERTILIZERS.  61 

ably,  and  one  may  rest  assured  that  he  pays  too  much  for  the  brand 
of  lower  value  instead  of  too  little  for  the  brand  of  higher  value.  The 
brand  or  name  stands  for  what  the  manufacturer  thinks  is  best  suited 
for  the  crop  for  which  the  brand  is  intended,  or  else  it  stands  for  what 
the  manufacturer  wishes  the  farmer  to  think  is  best  suited  for  his  crop, 
in  order  that  the  manufacturer  may  dispose  of,  at  best  advantage  to 
himself,  fertilizing  materials  on  which  he  has  a  corner,  or  which  he  can 
procure  on  more  favorable  terms  than  others.  It  is  too  often  the  case 
that  the  immediate  financial  returns  influence  the  agent's  theory  of 
fertilization.  Thus  it  is  that  some  dealers  will  declare  that  experience 
has  definitely  settled  it  that  organic  nitrogen  from  animal  sources  is 
best  for  most,  if  not  all,  crops,  and  these  are  the  dealers  who  are  directly 
or  indirectly  interested  in  the  packing  industries.  On  the  other  hand, 
some  are  very  positive  that  nitrate  of  soda  should  be  the  source  of  the 
greater  part  of  the  nitrogen,  and  investigation  might  disclose  the  fact 
that  nitrogen  in  nitrate  of  soda  is  the  cheapest  form  for  this  class  of 
manufacturers.  Some  will  declare  with  authority  that  superphosphate 
made  from  phosphate  rock  is  superior  to  superphosphate  made  from 
bone,  and  vice  versa  (when  there  is  no  difference),  and  one  does  not 
have  to  look  very  far  to  find  that  each  party  is  interested  in  the  material 
which  he  advocates.  Still  others  will  say  that  non-acidulated  bone  is 
the  best  form  of  phosphoric  acid,  and  it  would  not  be  surprising  to  find 
that  the  dealer  in  this  class  finds  greater  profit  in  handling  untreated 
bone,  or  else  that  he  is  not  prepared  to  acidulate  his  materials. 

It  is  not  intended  to  discuss  here  what  materials  are  best  suited  for 
various  crops  under  various  conditions,  but  to  suggest  to  the  buyers  of 
fertilizers  that  they  should  know  what  they  want  and  then  go  to  the 
fertilizer  dealer  to  supply  their  wants.  In  short,  it  is  intended  to 
suggest  to  the  farmer  the  advantages  of  buying  fertilizing  ingredients 
at  a  definite  price  per  unit,  instead  of  buying  "brands"  of  fertilizers 
on  the  flat  ton  basis.  The  fertilizing  ingredients  may  be  bought  in  the 
unmixed  materials,  or  they  may  be  bought  mixed  in  proportions  which 
seem  best  suited  to  the  farmer's  need,  but  in  either  case  the  transaction 
should  be  on  the  unit  basis.  A  unit  of  a  fertilizing  ingredient  is  one 
per  cent  in  a  ton.  Thus  if  nitrate  of  soda  contains  15V2  per  cent  of 
nitrogen,  one  ton  contains  15%  units  of  nitrogen.  In  other  words,  the 
figures  that  are  used  in  expressing  the  guaranteed  analysis  express  the 
number  of  units  in  a  ton  of  the  material. 

Buying  fertilizers  on  the  unit  basis  means  that  the  dealer  must  state 
how  much  he  is  charging  per  unit  for  available  and  insoluble  phos- 
phoric acid,  or  if  he  does  not  guarantee  available  and  insoluble  phos- 
phoric acid,  how  much  he  is  charging  per  unit  for  total  phosphoric 
acid;  how  much  per  unit  for  each  form  of  nitrogen,  and  how  much  per 
unit  for  potash.     This  then  puts  the  purchase  of  fertilizers  strictly  on 


62  UNIVERSITY  OF  CALIFORNIA — EXPERIMENT   STATION. 

a  competitive  basis,  and  the  buyer  is  at  once  able  to  say  who  is  giving 
him  plant  food  at  the  lowest  price.  It  does  away  with  all  hidden  virtues 
which  lurk  in  the  "so  much  per  ton"  mixed  fertilizers.  Of  course 
throughout  the  transaction  the  farmer  must  not  lose  sight  of  the 
quality  of  the  materials  used  and  the  mechanical  condition  of  the 
fertilizer. 

This  basis  of  purchase  also  affords  a  just  basis  of  settlement  in  case 
goods  do  not  come  up  to  guaranty.  If  the  fertilizer  has  fallen  short  in 
one  or  more  ingredients  it  is  a  simple  matter  of  arithmetic  to  arrive  at 
what  should  be  paid  for  the  goods  on  the  basis  of  the  agreed  price.  The 
farmer  should  never  forget  that  he  is  buying  and  using  pounds  of  nitro- 
gen, phosphoric  acid,  and  potash,  and  not  tons  of  "fertilizer." 

It  is  not  sufficient  for  the  dealer  to  quote  a  price  per  ton  and  say 
that  this  price  is  made  up  on  a  reasonable  price  per  unit  for  the  in- 
gredients.   The  price  per  unit  for  each  ingredient  should  be  given. 

If  farmers  would  stand  together  in  demanding  this  basis  of  dealing, 
it  would  be  a  very  easy  matter  to  obtain  it.  If  the  manufacturer 
objects  to  this  plan,  the  farmer  may  remind  him  that  it  is  the  basis 
on  which  he  buys  his  own  materials.  If  it  is  good  for  the  manufacturer, 
why  is  it  not  good  for  the  farmer? 

The  question  is  often  asked,  Is  it  better  to  buy  mixed  fertilizers,  or 
to  buy  the  materials  and  mix  them  on  the  farm?  The  answer  is  very 
simple.  If  the  manufacturer  mixes  them  better  and  cheaper  than  the 
farmer  can  mix  them,  then  buy  them  mixed.  The  question  of  cost  of 
mixing  can  be  determined  by  getting  the  cost  of  ingredients  in  the 
unmixed  materials  and  in  the  ready-mixed  fertilizers. 

All  the  materials  which  enter  into  the  mixed  fertilizers  may  be  bought 
unmixed  in  the  market.  But  in  buying  the  unmixed  materials  care 
should  always  be  exercised  to  obtain  them  in  a  finely  ground  condition. 
In  mixing  them,  the  bulkiest  material  should  be  placed  in  an  even  layer 
upon  a  tight  floor,  the  others  above  this  in  order  of  bulk,  then  begin 
at  one  end  and  shovel  the  pile  back.  Repeat  the  operation  once  or  twice, 
or  until  the  materials  are  well  mixed. 

THE  FERTILIZER  LAW. 

The  text  of  the  California  fertilizer  law  is  given  in  Bulletin  No.  171, 
which  will  be  sent  free  to  applicants  as  long  as  the  issue  lasts. 

ANALYSES  FOR  CONSUMERS.* 

Any  user  of  fertilizers  may,  by  paying  the  fee  of  two  dollars  specified 
by  Section  4  of  the  fertilizer  law,  have  a  sample  of  his  material  analyzed. 

*  Considerable  matter  which  has  appeared  in  former  reports  is  repeated  in  this 
bulletin  for  the  reason  that  it  is  considered  important  to  keep  it  before  the  attention 
of  the  farmers. 


COMMERCIAL     FERTILIZERS.  63 

This  fee  is  not  to  be  regarded  as  paying  the  cost  of  the  analysis.  It  is  a 
nominal  charge  made  to  prevent  the  sending  of  samples  through 
curiosity,  as  is  always  the  case  when  analyses  are  made  free  of  charge. 

The  sample  should  be  drawn  from  not  less  than  ten  packages,  if  the 
lot  is  five  tons  or  less ;  if  the  lot  is  over  five  tons,  the  sample  should  be 
drawn  from  not  less  than  twenty  packages.  The  larger  the  number  of 
packages  sampled,  the  more  representative  the  sample  will  be.  The 
sample  drawn  as  specified  above  should  be  thoroughly  mixed,  great 
care  being  exercised  to  prevent  the  separation  of  coarse  and  fine  mate- 
rials. Not  less  than  one  quart  should  be  taken  from  this  sample,  to  be 
sent  to  the  Station  for  analysis.  Whenever  possible  the  sampling  should 
be  done  in  the  presence  of  the  agent,  who  should  sign,  as  a  witness,  the 
certificate  given  below.  If  the  sample  is  not  drawn  in  the  presence  of 
the  agent,  it  should  be  drawn  in  the  presence  of  some  other  person, 
who  should  sign  the  certificate  as  a  witness. 

Samples  for  consumers  will  be  given  preference  in  the  laboratory  and 
the  results  will  be  reported  as  soon  as  possible.  The  sample  should  be 
sent,  if  possible,  in  time  to  receive  the  report  before  the  fertilizer  is 
used,  in  order  that  recourse  may  be  had  to  the  original  packages  in  case 
of  controversy  with  the  manufacturer. 

The  form  of  certificate  given  below  should  be  used  in  sending  samples 
for  analysis.  Blank  forms  will  be  furnished  upon  application.  All 
samples  should  be  marked  in  some  way  so  that  they  may  be  identified. 
Samples  should  be  sent  prepaid,  addressed  to  the  Fertilizer  Control, 
Experiment  Station,  Berkeley,  and  should  bear  the  name  and  address 
of  the  sender.  Bank  checks  and  money  orders  should  be  made  payable 
to  "The  Kegents  of  the  University  of  California."  Letters,  certificates, 
and  remittances  should  not  be  enclosed  with  the  samples,  but  mailed 
separately.  When  the  report  of  analysis  is  received,  a  tag  or  label 
taken  from  one  of  the  bags  sampled  should  at  once  be  sent  to  the 
Station,  and  the  name  and  address  of  the  agent  from  whom  the  goods 
were  purchased  should  be  given.  Analyses  will  be  made  only  for  those 
who  purchase  fertilizers  for  their  own  use.  Any  one  refusing  to  send 
a  tag  or  label  as  specified  above  will  be  excluded  from  further  privileges 
under  the  above  provisions. 

CERTIFICATE  FOR  CONSUMER'S  ANALYSIS. 

Director  Agricultural  Experiment  Station,  University  of  California, 

Berkeley,  California. 

This  is  to  certify  that  I  am  not  a  dealer  in,  or  agent  for  the  sale  of  any  fertilizer, 
and  that  the  fertilizer,  a  sample  of  which  I  have  sent  you  for  analysis,  was  pur- 
chased by  me ,  190.  .,  for  my  own  use  and  not  for  sale. 

I  further  certify  that  the  amount  purchased  was tons  and  that  the  sample 

was  drawn  from packages  and  was  thoroughly  mixed. 


64  UNIVERSITY   OF   CALIFORNIA — EXPERIMENT   STATION. 

Upon  receipt  of  the  analysis  from  you,  I  agree  to  furnish  you  with  a  tag  or  label 
taken  from  one  of  the  packages  sampled,  and  the  name  and  address  of  the  firm  or 
agent  of  whom  the  fertilizer  was  purchased.     I  enclose  two  dollars  analysis  fee.

VALUATION  OF  FERTILIZERS. 

The  "agricultural  value"  and  the  "commercial  value"  of  fertilizing 
materials  are  not  synonymous  terms.  The  agricultural  value  of  a  fer- 
tilizer is  determined  by  the  increase  and  quality  produced  by  it  in  the 
crop.  The  commercial  value  of  a  fertilizer  is  determined  by  the  cost  of 
the  materials  which  enter  into  its  composition.  A  fertilizing  material 
of  high  commercial  value  may  have  a  low  agricultural  value  on  a  par- 
ticular soil  or  crop.  On  another  soil  or  crop  the  same  material  may  have 
a  high  agricultural  value. 

In  calculating  the  values  given  in  this  report  the  Experiment  Station 
does  not  undertake  to  say  what  the  retail  prices  of  fertilizers  should  be 
in  this  State.  The  values  given  are  for  the  amounts  of  the  unmixed 
raw  matetrials  of  good  quality  represented  by  the  analyses,  and  do  not 
take  into  account  the  cost  of  grinding,  mixing,  bagging,  insurancer 
drayage,  agent's  commission,  and  other  expenses  of  the  manufacturer. 
Hence  the  valuations  in  this  report  are  generally  lower  than  the  retail 
prices  of  fertilizers.  The  schedule  of  values  used  is  given  below.  They 
represents,  as  nearly  as  can  be  determined,  the  prices  at  which  fertilizing 
ingredients  in  raw  materials  of  good  quality  can  be  bought  at  retail  for 
cash  at  the  warehouses  in  our  largest  markets  like  San  Francisco.  It 
is  a  difficult  matter  to  get  quotations  on  fertilizing  materials  in  our 
market  that  agree  closely  enough  to  serve  as  a  basis  for  a  schedule  that 
represents  the  actual  market  conditions.  Taken,  as  a  whole,  it  is 
believed  that  the  schedule  used  is  fairly  close  to  the  market  conditions. 

The  estimation  of  values  is  not  without  its  use,  even  if  the  schedule 
used  does  not  represent  the  actual  market  conditions.  In  the  first 
place,  a  comparison  of  values  calculated  upon  the  guaranty  and  the 
analysis  shows  whether  the  goods  have  the  commercial  value  repre- 
sented by  the  guaranteed  analysis.  In  the  second  place,  the  calculation 
of  values  upon  different  guaranteed  analyses  enables  the  purchaser  to 
determine  which  dealer  offers  him  plant  food  at  the  lowest  price;  pro- 
vided, of  course,  that  the  materials  offered  are  of  the  same  quality. 

In  reading  the  report  of  analyses,  the  column  of  values  is  the  last 
one  to  be  considered.  The  first  things  to  consider  are  the  materials 
used  and  the  analysis  as  compared  with  the  guaranty.     Prom  the  very 


COMMERCIAL     FERTILIZERS.  65 

nature  of  the  case  the  analysis  must  differ  somewhat  from  the  guaranty, 
but  the  variation  should  not  be  so  great  as  to  change  the  nature  of 
the  fertilizer.  Such  a  variation  might  take  place,  and  at  the  same  time 
the  value  calculated  upon  the  guaranty  be  greater  than  the  value 
calculated  upon  the  analysis.  Suppose,  for  example,  that  a  fertilizer 
should  be  guaranteed  to  have  the  composition  indicated  by  the  first 
column  below,  and  upon  analysis  it  should  show  the  composition  indi- 
cated by  the  second  column. 

Guaranteed.  Found. 

Available  phosphoric  acid 8  per  cent.  10  per  cent. 

Insoluble   phosphoric    acid 2        "  2        " 

Total  phosphoric  acid 10        "  12 

Nitrogen     3        "  3 

Potash 5        "  3 

According  to  the  schedule  of  values  now  in  use  these  two  composi- 
tions would  have  the  same  commercial  value,  yet  they  are  essentially 
different.    Such  variations  as  the  above  are  sometimes  met  with.

To  calculate  the  value  per  ton  of  a  fertilizer,  multiply  the  pound 
value  of  each  ingredient  by  20,  then  multiply  these  products  by  the 
percentages  of  the  several  ingredients,  and  add  the  results. 

*  Fine  and  medium  bone  are  separated  by  a  sieve  with  50  meshes  to  the  inch ; 
fine  and  medium  tankage  by  a  25-mesh  sieve ;  and  fine  and  medium  Thomas  phosphate 
powder  by  a  100-mesh  sieve. 

f  For  the  purpose  of  calculating  comparative  values  an  average  value  of  4  cents 
per  pound  for  phosphoric  acid  and  17  cents  for  nitrogen  is  used  on  bone  meal  and 
tankage ;  an  average  of  4%  cents  per  pound  is  used  for  phosphoric  acid  in  Thomas 
phosphate  powder.

IMPORTANT. 

Caution  to  Purchasers  of  Fertilizers. 

Farmers  are  requested  not  to  purchase  fertilizers  that  are  not  labeled 
to  meet  the  requirements  of  law,  and  not  to  attempt  to  purchase  them 
from  any  one  but  registered  dealers  or  their  authorized  agents.  Any 
farmer  who  purchases  fertilizers  under  any  other  conditions  does  not 
deserve  the  protection  of  the  law,  and  the  manufacturer  or  dealer 
who  does  not  label  his  goods  according  to  the  full  requirements  of  the 
law  is  liable  to  prosecution  and  should  in  nowise  be  patronized  by 
farmers.  It  is  quite  liable  to  happen  and  does  happen  that  now  and 
then  a  manufacturer  may  miss  his  guaranty  without  intending  to  do  so, 
but  it  is  impossible  that  he  would  have  his  labels  printed  in  non-con- 
formity to  the  law  without  doing  so  either  intentionally  or  through 
gross  carelessness.  Farmers  can  render  great  assistance  in  enforcing 
the  law  by  observing  the  above  caution. 

Every  bag  or  package  of  fertilizer  and  fertilizing  material,  whether 
a  regular  brand  or  a  special  mixture,  should  carry  a  label  or  tag  bear- 
ing the  following: 

1.  Name  and  address  of  manufacturer  and  place  of  manufacture. 

2.  Registration  number. 

3.  Name  or  brand  of  fertilizer. 

4.  Guaranteed  analysis,  giving  percentage  of 

Available  phosphoric  acid ;  Nitrogen  in  ammonia  salts  ; 

Insoluble   phosphoric   acid  ;  Potash. 

Total  phosphoric  acid.  Total  nitrogen. 

Nitrogen  in  nitrates  ;  Organic  nitrogen  ; 

Or  such  of  these  ingredients  as  may  be  present. 

5.  A  statement  of  the  materials  from  which  the  above  ingredients  are  derived. 

In  case  of  bone  meal,  tankage,  and  Thomas  phosphate  powder,  a 
guaranty  of  available  phosphoric  acid  is  not  required  when  these  mate- 
rials are  not  acidulated. 

No  dealer  or  manufacturer,  except  those  who  have  certificates  of 
registration  from  the  University  of  California,  and  their  authorized 
agents,  can  legally  sell  fertilizers  in  this  State.     No  person  or  com- 


COMMERCIAL    FERTILIZERS.  67 

pany  has  any  right  to  use  any  registration  number  except  in  connection 
tion  with  the  firm  name  to  which  the  registration  certificate  of  such 
number  has  been  issued;  and  no  person  or  company  to  whom  a  regis- 
tration number  has  been  assigned  has  any  right  to  give  any  other  person 
or  company  permission  to  use  said  registration  number,  and  any  number 
so  used  is  a  fraud.  No  agent  has  any  right  to  use  his  principal's 
registration  number  in  connection  with  his  own  name. 

REPORT    OF    ANALYSES. 

The  following  tables  give  the  results  of  all  analyses  made  from 
January  1  to  June  30,  1906. 

Available  phosphoric  acid  is  not  determined  in  bone  meal,  tankage, 
and  Thomas  phosphate  powder,  unless  requested.  The  fineness  of  these 
materials  is  determined,  fine  and  medium  bone  being  separated  by  a 
sieve  of  50  meshes  to  the  inch ;  tankage  by  a  25-mesh  sieve ;  and  Thomas 
phosphate  powder  by  a  100-mesh  sieve. 

Some  fertilizers  containing  all  three  ingredients  are  rated  as  tankage, 
because  they  are  non-acidulated  tankage  products  with  potash  salts 
added,  and  do  not  carry  a  guaranty  of  available  phosphoric  acid. 

Nitrogen  in  ammonia  salts  will,  in  some  cases,  be  found  reported 
when  nitrogen  in  this  form  is  not  guaranteed.  In  some  of  such  cases  this 
form  of  nitrogen  is  produced  by  conversion  of  organic  nitrogen  during 
process  of  manufacture,  and  is  not  to  be  considered  a  deviation  from 
guaranty  of  materials  used.  This  form  is  not  reported  separately  when 
less  than  0.20  per  cent,  unless  it  has  been  guaranteed,  but  is  included 
in  the  total.  Guanos  carry  more  or  less  nitrogen  in  nitrates  and  ammonia 
salts,  and  when  any  appreciable  quantity  of  guano  is  used  the  manu- 
facturer should  take  into  account  the  fact  that  some  nitrogen  will  show 
as  nitrates  and  ammonia  salts.  The  failure  to  take  this  into  consideration 
may  perhaps  account  for  the  appearance  of  these  forms  of  nitrogen  in 
some  samples  in  which  only  organic  nitrogen  was  guaranteed. 

The  percentage  of  chlorin  is  given  when  it  exceeds  0.50  per  cent.  It 
is  a  matter  of  only  technical  interest  whether  chlorin  present  is  from 
muriate  of  potash,  kainit,  or  from  common  salt  that  may  be  in  some  of 
the  materials  used.  If  a  manufacturer  uses  sulfate  of  potash  and  uses 
a  tankage  with  it  containing  a  large  amount  of  chlorin,  from  a  practical 
standpoint  he  has  lowered  the  grade  of  his  fertilizer  just  as  much  as  if 
he  had  used  muriate  of  potash  instead  of  sulfate  of  potash.  Chlorin 
from  all  other  sources  is  as  objectionable  as  from  muriate  of  potash. 
However,  if  muriate  of  potash  is  found  when  sulfate  is  guaranteed,  the 
fact  will  be  published. 

The  following  abbreviations  are  used  in  the  tables :  Bl  =  blood ;  Bn  = 
bone ;  Fs  =  fish ;  G  =  guano  ;  Super  ==  superphosphate ;  T  =  tankage. 

Guaranties  are  entered  in  italics.  Deficiencies  greater  than  allowed 
by  law  are  entered  in  bold  type.
